Bookmarking this forever. Meta plus recs plus EXCERPTS! \o/ it's like a primer but with sound.
"because I couldn't cut the Lied" Best decision. Only decision. Lol. Ugh what Schubert did with the setting of that poem.................ugh ugh ugh so much love. The piano outlining the tone of each speaker alone would be shudder-inducing, and then Fischer-Dieskau's performance just takes the vocal line into the stratosphere. Ugh. And then my brain explodes. Every. Time. #musicnerd #bestrecordingchoice
It is probably bad that I spent so long rhapsodising about Der Erlkönig. But I suppose that just shows how important music can be? Because in that fic, that particular recording of that particular song is what transports it from "oh that was quite nice" to *twitch twitch* ded. For me, anyway.
this icon's keyword: 'defying gravity'. closest inception/music icon i had. lol.
